Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the variables a and b in the formula are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. So that means that 15 and x are the legs and 17 is the hypotenuse. Plug those numbers where they go in the formula like below:

15^2+x^2=17^2

Go ahead and square the 15 and 17 to simplify it a little.

225+x^2=289

Now, get the x by itself by subtracting 225 from each side

x^2=64

Take the square root of each side to remove the squared on x and solve.

x=8

Men’s heights are normally distributed with a mean of 71.8 inches and a standard deviation of 3.4 inches. A social organization
nadya68 [22]

Answer: 2.28%

Step-by-step explanation:

μ = 71.8

σ = 3.4

X < 65

P(X < 65) = P (Z < 65 - 71.8/3.4) = P (Z < -2)

According to the table for the normal distribution attached, it will give us

P (z < Z < 0), this way, to find the P(Z < z), we need to do 0.5 - P:

0.5 - P(-2 < Z < 0) = 0.5 - 0.4772 = 0.0228

In percentage: 0.0228*100 = 2.28%
